A song about the fear of running out—of time, of money, of energy, of anything. I wrote this during my daughter's short life. She was highly disabled and we had to stop working in order to take care of her 24/7. I felt like I was failing my other children. Failing my work. I was afraid we'd run out of money.
Yet, in any given moment, everything was fine.
I'm learning that the fear of running out has influenced me most of my life. Yet, my whole life, regardless of my thoughts about "running out," I have always been fine. Everything has been fine. Every time.
I'm learning that it is safe to let this fear go.
Even when my daughter was terminally ill. Even when my bank accounts show numbers that scare me. Even when [fill in the blank]. These fears—not the situations, but the fears—have held me back my entire life. Maybe you can relate.
We are made for more than worrying, preventing, holding on... we are made to fly. We have wings... we've always had them.
